@Rob, next time you get the web dev in, could you ask them to add some logic to the username creation to disallow email addresses as usernames? Tell the dev that “it’s a simple regex” and s/he’ll be impressed with your technical knowledge. Every few weeks a newbie makes the error of creating a username exposing their personal data.
Also, usernames with spaces create profile pages I cannot find. If I want to see all JDB’s recent posts, I can, but I can’t for Lady London. Probably not an easy fix!
Agree with this.
Also, any update on being able to @mention people / notifications?
@memesweeper, for spaces, just replace the space with a hyphen
So: @Lady-London
🙂

@memesweeper – oh dear, so it looks like rubbish floats to the top and gems sink to the bottom.
